A man turned his girlfriend’s sleep talking into artistic poems and it’s a stroke of Pulitzer Prize worthy genius
Inspiration can come from a myriad of places and can strike at any time, even while sleeping – however, not usually from the dreams of others… until now.
Over on Twitter, @HarryIsLate shared some Rupi Kaur-esque poetry that was inspired by his girlfriend’s sleeptalking.

My wife sat bolt upright in bed one night & pronounced with some indignation “you can’t call a cat Justin!!” and then just lay back down snoring.

I do something similar with my girlfriend when she says something random that doesn’t make sense I find it cute and write it down to make art of later ☺️ pic.twitter.com/L0UNZKWPOs

Harry’s work was inspired by Twitter user @reb_day, whose housemate turned her Grand Theft Auto ramblings into their own artistic masterpieces.
Oh MY GOD
My housemate has just revealed to me that for the past MONTH he’s been taking notes of all the things I say to myself whilst playing GTA …
